Thunder's Victor Oladipo: Not traveling with team

Oladipo (back) is not traveling with the team to Portland for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Oladipo has missed the Thunder's last three games while recovering from a back injury, and it looks as if he's in line to miss at least two more. The Thunder have a road back-to-back against the Trail Blazers and Suns on Thursday and Friday respectively, and Oladipo not traveling with the team to Portland suggests that he won't play in Phoenix game either. If he does indeed miss both contests, his next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Mavericks in Dallas, with Alex Abrines likely picking up starts as long as Oladipo is out.
